Watch: Comedian Danny Polishchuk predicted Trump's tariff strategy months ago: 'He's going to tariff every f**king country'



Stand-up comedian Danny Polishchuk accurately predicted the bulk of President Trump's tariff plan months before it happened.

The president shocked the world on Wednesday when he revealed his "Liberation Day" plans to slap reciprocal tariffs — which he detailed were the combined rates of tariffs and deficits — on dozens of countries across the globe.

Trump's large, now-controversial chart included new penalties on most of America's major trading partners apart from Canada, such as the European Union, United Kingdom, China, Japan, Vietnam, and Taiwan.

Back in January, though, Polishchuk predicted how Trump would apply the sweeping policies to global trading partners and was even able to accurately suggest some of the terminology that would be used in the media.

What were his predictions?

Polishchuk dedicated a segment on his podcast "Low Value Mail" to explain what he thought the president's strategy would be and how he felt the administration had plans to reshape the world's financial system in America's favor.

"He's gonna tariff every f**king country on earth," Polishchuk began. "[Trump] is trying to just totally redo the entire global financial system to benefit America, because the way that it's currently designed was to not benefit America," he continued. "America set it up specifically that way following World War II and wanted to help all these countries rebuild, especially after the Cold War and whatnot. [The policy] was not in the benefit of America. But at the time, America had something like 40-plus percent of the world's GDP, so it made a little more sense to do."

The comedian, who revealed he has a degree in economics, said that the best weapon the United States could deploy would be "tariffing every f**king country on earth."

He added, "If this works — this only applies to the Americans — if you live anywhere but America, it is gonna suck for you. But if you live in America, taxes are going way lower."

"Nobody's ever seen such winning. The winning will be exponential," the comedian went on, channeling his inner Trump.

The comic also stated that the term "Mar-a-Lago Accord" would start popping up in to the news, which referred to policy plans from the administration relating to reforming global trade and economic imbalances.

"You're gonna be hearing this term, the Mar-a-Lago Accord. You're gonna be hearing this. ... He is going to literally rewrite the entire global financial system."

Trump announced on Wednesday that the United States could no longer continue with its "policy of unilateral economic surrender" and pay other countries' deficits. The president blamed military funding, theft of intellectual property, and the manipulation of U.S. currency.

Currency manipulation is exactly what Polishchuk was referring to, which includes foreign investors buying U.S. Treasury securities to sway the American dollar.

As for the Mar-a-Lago Accord, the term was virtually unused back when Polishchuk referred to it in January. Google Trends showed that interest in the term was a flat line until mid-March, when outlets like Investing.com, Bloomberg, and others started to catch on.

Even Chinese outlet the South China Morning Post described the accord in April as one that had the potential to "reshape America’s role in the global economy."

'It's out there for anybody who wants to find it.'

How did he know?

Polishchuk attributed his predictions to a document called "A User’s Guide to Restructuring the Global Trading System" by Stephen Miran.

Miran, Trump's top financial consultant as chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, was appointed by the president-elect in November 2024. Miran was a Treasury Department adviser during Trump's first term and previously worked for Hudson Bay Capital, where he published the aforementioned document last November.

"The craziest thing is everybody for the last three months has been speculating, trying to figure out what Trump has been doing. It's been in this paper the whole time," Polishchuk told Blaze News. "It's out there for anybody who wants to find it."

The stand-up comedian said he fully expected the document to be pulled down, but was shocked that even as Trump's tariff plan was being widely discussed in the media, he did not see many outlets citing it.

Polishchuk said he now expects, based on the blueprint, for the Trump administration to start charging "user fees" on U.S. Treasuries to prevent currency manipulation in the coming months.

As for results, Polishchuk said the tariffs already seemed to be working.

For example, Reuters reported on Thursday that General Motors had already planned to increase production in Indiana after Trump added a 25% tariff on auto imports.

'Things are going to get weird': Alex Stein's free-speech case against Dallas Democrats goes to trial



BlazeTV host Alex Stein filed a federal civil rights lawsuit in 2022 against Dallas County Commissioner John Price (D), Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins (D), and a trio of county marshals after he was forcibly removed from a meeting of the Dallas County Commissioners Court.

Price had Stein kicked out for seeking clarification about troubling allegations regarding his Democratic compatriot, Jenkins, who was running for re-election at the time.

Stein accused the Democratic duo and the county by extension of violating his constitutional right to free speech as well as the court’s own rules and the Texas Open Meetings Act.

The case is headed to trial next week, which could have ramifications for free-speech rights and spell trouble for the defendants, one of whom is up for re-election next year.

"This case is not about me as an individual but about all of our rights to publicly criticize our politicians," Stein told Blaze News.

While Stein has a talent for getting under politicians' skin at all levels of government, his apparent bread and butter is confronting officials at local government meetings.

There have been a number of instances where the comedian has donned provocative costumes and engaged in a style of commentary that has discomfited officials and onlookers alike.

For instance, Stein approached the microphone at a January 2022 Dallas City Council meeting dressed in surgical scrubs and mockingly rapped about giving the novel COVID-19 vaccine to virtually everyone and everything, singing, "Vaccinate your mom, vaccinate your dad, vaccinate the happy, vaccinate the sad. Vaccinate your babies, vaccinate them, even if they got rabies. Vaccinate my life, vaccinate my wife."

Later that year, Stein addressed Plano City Council wearing a women's swimsuit and pink swim cap, comically highlighting the absurdity of gender ideologues' arguments in favor of men competing in women's sports.

'I'm just asking.'

Stein took a far more subdued approach when addressing the Dallas County Commissioners Court on May 17, 2022.

Dressed in a suit and tie, Stein — one of three members of the public permitted to speak at the livestreamed meeting —swapped out his customary theatrics for a straight read of an excerpt from a Sept. 23, 2014, article in D magazine about Clay Jenkins, which stated:

In college at Baylor, Jenkins continued to distinguish himself dubiously. He was arrested twice, once for reckless driving after he led Baylor security and Waco police on a car chase he’d planned and a second time for criminal trespassing in a women’s dorm during a panty raid. Strangely enough, he was never arrested for his role as the famous Baylor Pie Man, a hit man for a student-organized ring that offered to throw pies in people’s faces — professors, ex-boyfriends — for a fee.

Neither Price nor Jenkins, whose term ends in December 2026, responded to Blaze News' request for comment.

'You're finished! You’re finished!'

Before Stein could finish reading the excerpt, Price — who was acquitted on seven of 11 counts of criminal wrongdoing in a corruption trial in 2017 — angrily rapped his gavel and stated, "You're not allowed to admonish members of this court."

Price's interruption took place less than a minute into Stein's time. The previous speakers were allotted three uninterrupted minutes each.

"Yeah. I'm asking, I'm just asking," said Stein. "I would like to get some clarification."

When the BlazeTV host attempted to continue reading from the article, Price directed Dallas County marshals to drag Stein out of the court, noting, "You're not allowed to attack members of this court."

Before marshals Robert De Los Santos, Zack Masri, and Charles Johnson descended on him, Stein stressed that he was asking "a simple question." Prompted to articulate his query in full, the comedian said, "What was the panty raid about?"

"You're finished! You're finished!" responded Price, who suggested once again that Stein was attacking a member of the court. "Marshal, move him out. You're finished. You're finished."

The following month, Stein filed suit.

'The First Amendment was meant for exactly this.'

Stein's original complaint included a statement from then-Dallas County Commissioner Justin Koch claiming that Price was in the wrong when ejecting the comedian from the courtroom, reported the Dallas Express.

"Commissioner Price, I believe unlawfully, had Alex Stein removed. Alex Stein started to read about Judge Jenkins in an article about some of his past bad behavior," stated Koch, now chief judge of the Texas Fifth District Court of Appeals. "The statute that someone can be removed under is basically someone who is profane, slanderous, or boisterous."

Koch suggested further that if the D magazine article had indeed been defamatory, Jenkins would have sued the publication sometime in the previous eight years, which he had not bothered to do.

Stein's attorney Jonathan Gross noted around the time of the lawsuit's filing, "Politicians have to remember that they serve the public, not the other way around."

"Criticizing the government is the highest form of protected speech," continued Gross. "It's the right of Stein and every American."

Stein originally claimed that his forceful ejection from the meeting violated his First, Fifth, and 14th Amendment rights. However, in 2023, senior U.S. District Judge Sidney Fitzwater, the judge presiding over Stein's case, granted the defendants' motions to dismiss Stein's claim that they violated his 14th Amendment right to equal protection of the laws.

When asked about the upcoming trial and the current state of play, Stein expressed hope that "this will be a smooth, open-and-shut trial," but told Blaze News that "things are going to get weird since [he and the defense] both have submitted a lot of my craziest speeches at government meetings."

"I think the defendants hope that the jury is made up of people who don't like me, and they will try and paint me as a bad person only doing this for clicks," said Stein. "They will probably argue that I was being disruptive or slanderous and not trying to participate in good faith, which is the farthest thing from the truth."

"The First Amendment was meant for exactly this — to protect our right to criticize our politicians," said Stein. "Limiting the First Amendment is a violation of the Constitution, and that's why this federal lawsuit is so important."

‘Comedian’ John Oliver manipulates millions of sad leftists



So-called comedian John Oliver has captivated millions who tune into his HBO show to hear his far-left shtick — but how has he done it?

“He’s a comedian. He does sort of Jon Stewart-ish type monologues on HBO. These go very viral on YouTube and other places. And they are very, very important to the left. When the guy comes out and does one of these monologues, it kind of turns into doctrine, right, on the left,” Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” explains.

And Oliver certainly plays it up.

In a recent interview with Stephen Colbert, Colbert said to Oliver, “You are a recent citizen. How do you feel? Are you still going to stick it out? You going to head back to England?”

“Oh no, I’m sticking it out,” Oliver replied. “I’m going down with the Titanic.”


“So that’s their view of America,” Stu comments. “And it’s an interesting, different, probably different view than the one you have, right? Donald Trump’s come in. He’s done some really good things, not everything I agree with, frankly. But there’s been some really, really good things done.”

“It does seem like things are going the way conservatives want them to go, but also kind of a more, I don’t know, fundamentally American way right now, right?” Stu continues, before adding, “And let me give you sense as to how John Oliver is seeing things so far.”

“The next four years are going to feel incredible. The potential for pain is devastating, as is the sheer amount that’s already been doled out. We see wealthy, powerful men use the levers of government for their personal advantage, as well as their personal grievances, and we’re being governed by people who think good public policy consists of cutting off funding to anyone who isn’t me, make it illegal to mention people who are different from me, and let’s steal Canada while we’re at it,” Oliver said in a recent monologue.

“Many of those that we’ve elected to fight back seem to be resting on their heels, waiting for their pitch. This is all bonkers, terrifying, and darkly absurd. It is worse than we thought, and we thought about it a lot,” he added.

Stu can’t help but be amused.

“It just shows how miserable the left is right now,” he laughs.

'You're like the most genuine dude': Comic Bert Kreischer gives hilarious, loving speech to Jameis Winston during Super Bowl



Comedian Bert Kresicher gave a laugh-out-loud yet emotional speech to NFL quarterback Jameis Winston while watching the Super Bowl in New Orleans, telling the athlete he had cherished the time they spent together.

Kreischer and Winston were hooked up with microphones for NFL on Fox while watching Super Bowl LIX, and their banter turned into a friendship throughout the show. The relationship didn't get off to the best start, however, as Winston wasn't exactly sure how to say Kreischer's name.

"What's up, everybody? We are sitting here in the NOLA, the Big Easy at Super Bowl 59. The biggest event in America. Sitting right next to Bert Kershaw. How do you pronounce your last name, Bert?" Winston asked.

"Bert Kreischer," the comedian responded, already laughing.

"Well, you need no introduction. You know what I'm saying?" Winston hilariously replied.

The two bonded over the course of the game, discussing the team's entrances and reacting to plays by Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Soon, the pair found common ground over the fact they both have a tendency to become very emotional, with Kreischer then seemingly having a revelation about football in the United States.

"I get in these places, I realize, this is kinda like American church," Kreischer pontificated. "This is our Sunday spent here. It's as beautiful as the ... freaking Grand Canyon. But it's as large in it's the same thing. You know? I love these places."

Winston reciprocated, saying watching the production begin put him in an "emotional state."

"Just seeing how everybody was like ... all the cameras were powered up to watch them come out and take on the field, man. And you said it was like the Roman Coliseum matchup, bro. This is this game is about to be magical, bro."

Winston added, "We were just talking about where you store your treasures, they're also in your heart. ... But somebody gonna leave heartbroken."

'You've been an inspiration.'

Before the game ended, Kreischer opened up to the quarterback even more and hilariously told Winston that the favorite part of the game had been their new relationship.

"My favorite part of the weekend is this right here. I've had so much fun with you, man. It's so fun. You're so, you know, like, genuine people, and then there's genuine, genuine people. You're like the most genuine dude I've ever met."

Kresicher was not done and told the Cleveland Browns player how much he admired his discipline.

"You're not a talk-s***-behind-someone's-back kinda guy. You don't curse. You don't drink. You don't watch porn. You're a good, good, good guy. And I'm so not that person," the comedian added. "You've been an inspiration. You are a great person."

While it is unclear if alcohol fueled Kreischer's emotional rant, the two shared a tequila shot at the end of the game.

Kreischer has been a hit with football fans in recent years, even performing a punt, pass, and kick competition with other comedians in Las Vegas before the Super Bowl in 2024.

Winston, on the other hand, warmed up for the Super Bowl at New Orleans' famous Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar, where he searched for treasures and asked why a woman would bring her 16-month-old baby to a pirate bar.

'There's supposed to be freedom of speech': 'Saturday Night Live's' Kenan Thompson says movie studios suppress edgy comedians



Veteran "Saturday Night Live" cast member Kenan Thompson said actors and comedians no longer have the freedom to write edgy material, and those who do are "suppressed."

Thompson, who has starred in movies like "Good Burger" and "D2: The Mighty Ducks," said that comedians sometimes struggle to align their comedy to public "sensibilities," especially when they are used to speaking a certain way in their private lives.

The 46-year-old noted that while some comedians can emerge out of the industry's blanket censorship, most edgy comedy is shut down by film studios.

"There's supposed to be freedom of speech. They keep trying to suppress, but then you have the [comedians] that pop up out of that suppression," Thompson revealed.

'That's where it felt like was the end of the road for the freedom of wanting to be funny.'

During an interview with comedians Mark Normand and Sam Morril, Thompson said it was disheartening to see how few comedies get a green light in modern Hollywood.

"There's not enough comedies anymore. There's no comedies to be seen right now. It's so sad."

"Of course the classics like the 'Tropic Thunders' of it all, but that's where it felt like was the end of the road for the freedom of wanting to be funny kind of thing. ... I'm looking for that era," Thompson explained.

Ben Stiller's "Tropic Thunder" received very little backlash when it was released in 2008 despite its frequent use of the word "retard" and the simple fact that actor Robert Downey Jr. was in blackface for nearly the entire film.

Thompson also cited movies like Mike Myers' "Austin Powers" and "Baseketball" as edgy movies that likely couldn't be made today.

"It should be allowed to be done!" Thompson declared.

Host Normand then asked Thompson about recent episodes of "Saturday Night Live" in which comedians Bill Burr and Dave Chappelle took a moment to acknowledge how sensitive the show's audience has become.

"Everybody was like, 'This is crazy; this is so offensive,'" Normand recalled. "Did you find it was a little touchy over there?" he asked the cast member.

"It's touchy everywhere," Thompson replied. "That audience comes in and like, there is some clutching of the pearls."

Thompson implied that the studio audience at SNL is usually on edge and afraid to laugh at anything that could be deemed offensive. This results in comedians often receiving little "support" from the live viewers when they perform stand-up comedy on the show.

Despite this, the actor claimed the executive producer of SNL, Lorne Michaels, is reasonable in his approach about what can or cannot be said by performers. He said Michaels will simply say "good luck" to a comedian and let the audience reaction do the talking.

Comedian trolls Nancy Pelosi on being 'greatest options trader of all time,' gets physically thrown out of book signing



A conservative comedian was escorted away from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) after heckling her over her family's much-talked-about stock market trading record.

Comedian Alex Strenger was physically ushered away from Pelosi after playfully mocking the Democrat leader over her husband's outstanding record of trading stocks. The comedian called Pelosi “the greatest options trader of all time.”

'I just want to know; she makes six figures a year in Congress and has a hundred-million-dollar net worth.'

Strenger disguised himself as a liberal to infiltrate Pelosi's book signing at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin on Saturday.

The comedian approached Pelosi while wearing a "White Dudes for Kamala" shirt, a Bernie Sanders hat, and a face mask.

Strenger introduced himself to Pelosi, "Hi, my name is Noah. I use he/they pronouns."

"I appreciate your, like, fierce, staunch defending of democracy," he said. "It really means so, so much, you know?"

"And, you know, like, honestly, like, I’m really scared about, you know, Donald Trump winning the election," the comedian continued. "And honestly, with all the disinformation on X, like, you know, I honestly, the only chance, like, that we have is for Donald Trump to spend the rest of his life in prison. That’s the only hope for democracy."

Pelosi replied, "We just have to win the election."

A security guard then intervened to shut down the exchange by putting her hands on Strenger and physically removing him by shoving him.

As he was being pushed away, Strenger asked Pelosi, “Well, Nancy, listen. Well, sure. Last question. What stocks should I buy? Nancy, you’re the greatest options trader of all time. I just want to know what stocks I should buy. What, I just want to know, like, what’s your biggest concern?”

Strenger trolled the liberals in the room by pointing out that there was security at the event and how it went against the progressive defund-the-police movement.

“The police are an instrumental institution of white supremacy and racism," the comedian sarcastically quipped. "I don’t understand why they are even here at all. They should be defunded.”

As he was being escorted out, Strenger shouted: “I just want to know; she makes six figures a year in Congress and has a hundred-million-dollar net worth. Don’t y’all want to know what stocks she should buy? Come on. I just want to know. I just want to know what stocks to buy. I want to close the wealth gap. What’s the problem? I just want to close the wealth gap.”

Pelosi was paid $223,500 annually as speaker of the House and now makes a $174,000 salary as a member of Congress.

Pelosi and her husband have a combined net worth of nearly $245 million based on the price movement of stocks in her portfolio as calculated by alternative stock data platform Quiver Quantitative.

Strenger posted the video on the X social media platform with the caption: "Assaulted by @SpeakerPelosi’s Security Detail when all I wanted was stock advice."

At the time of publication, the video had been viewed over 268,000 times.

Strenger noted that Blaze Media personality Alex Stein — host of "Prime Time with Alex Stein" — has "mentored me, provided me with guidance, shared my posts, invited me on his show, and more."

He added, "Comedy will save the world from tyranny, and we need to mock these globalists into obscurity."

Pelosi has drawn scrutiny over her husband's exceptional track record of trading stocks. Paul Pelosi, a founder of a real estate and venture capitalist firm, has a history of making remunerative investments that critics see as conflicts of interest given Nancy's access to inside information due to her high-ranking position in the government.

In March 2021, Pelosi bought $10 million in shares of Microsoft just 12 days before it was announced that the technology company secured a government contract worth nearly $22 billion to supply U.S. Army combat troops with augmented reality headsets.

As Blaze News reported in July 2022, Paul Pelosi purchased millions of dollars' worth of stock in the Nvidia semiconductor company weeks before a Senate vote on a bill that would provide $52 billion in subsidies to the tech industry.

Pelosi’s stock options gained more than 65% in 2023, according to analysis by Unusual Whales.

Pelosi was questioned about Congress members trading in the stock market when they may know insider information because of their duties. Pelosi snapped back, "We are a free-market economy. They should be able to participate in that."

Drew Hammill, Pelosi's communications director, told Fox Business in 2022, "The speaker does not own any stocks. The speaker has no prior knowledge or subsequent involvement in any transactions."

The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012, also known as the STOCK Act, made it illegal for family members and members of Congress to profit from insider trading. A 2023 report from Business Insider claimed that 78 members of Congress failed to properly report their financial trades as mandated by the STOCK Act.

'You're going to live with how that works out': PGA Tour partners with Katt Williams, signaling seismic cultural shift



Iconic comedian Katt Williams appeared in a series of official videos for the PGA Tour, serving up both jokes and life lessons.

Williams has made an immeasurable cultural impact in 2024, mostly due to an interview with former NFL player Shannon Sharpe where the comedian shocked audiences with his claims about different celebrities and fellow stand-up comics.

The interview has nearly 70 million views on YouTube alone, with Sharpe revealing that he made more money off the video than the entirety of his NFL career.

With a May 2024 Netflix special, Williams has continued to impact the free speech movement through his successes. The "legend of comedy" partnered with the PGA Tour for several videos that likely wouldn't have been acceptable in the mainstream just a year ago.

Williams explained at TPC at Sawgrass in Florida how golf teaches life lessons:

"All of the things that I like about life in general are on the golf course," Williams told the PGA Tour. "Golf requires you to experience all those beautiful things, but then every shot requires you to block all of that out and just focus on the task at hand," he prophesized.

"You don't have the opportunity of doing it again. You're going to do it once, and you're going to live with how that works out."

"If you can get that on the golf course, you can translate that everywhere. You could have three magnificent shots in a row, that has no bearing on your ability to three-putt, you can't afford to be high or low. You have to stay focused, and that translates all the time," Williams continued.

"A lot of people won't put it in the water, but you know who will? I will."


A legend of comedy takes on the iconic @TPCSawgrass.\n\nKatt Williams explains the game of golf like pure poetry.
— (@)

"Golf is this thing where ... 18 times they set you up with a challenge and they put obstacles and hazards in the way and you have to try to navigate your way safely and try to do as much as you can. But you learn that if you do more than you can, you can't do that," the comedian added.

After his wise remarks, Williams was then seen in subsequent videos making impressive golf shots, and even purposely hitting shots into the water.

"A lot of people won't put it in the water, but you know who will? I will," he joked.

During his record-breaking interview, Williams made several statements that appeared to be proven true once they made their rounds online.

He accused comedian Cedric the Entertainer of directly stealing one of his most-famous comedy routines and also called out lesser-known comedian Rickey Smiley for claiming he was the first choice for a role Williams played in Ice Cube's 2002 movie "Friday After Next."

An addition to the more provable claims, Williams also claimed that rapper and entrepreneur Diddy wanted to have sex with him on multiple occasions. Less than three months later, Diddy's properties were raided during investigations from a federal sex trafficking probe.

Williams also made claims about comedian and actor Kevin Hart being an industry "plant" and said Hart was the backup plan for movies that he declined.

"For a five-year period, every single movie that Kevin Hart did was a movie that had been on my desk," he said. Hart replied to the remarks the next day, indirectly telling Williams, "Gotta get that anger up outcha champ. ... It’s honestly sad."

Williams also described an offer that he and rapper/actor Ludacris allegedly received from the "illuminati" to get $200 million to do 20 movies, implying Ludacris accepted the offer to do the "Fast and the Furious" movies.

"It was so laughable — what he said — to me, I couldn’t believe what he was saying," Ludacris told radio hosts from "The Breakfast Club."

"I took it as laughable because he’s a comedian, and that’s why I kind of responded with some laughable stuff."

MUST SEE: Comedian Charleston White ATTACKED onstage



Controversial comedian Charleston White might claim to be prepared for “hell or jail,” but he’s not the only one.

White berated a heckler at his show before throwing a potted poinsettia at him. The audience member and others then jumped on the stage and proceeded to beat the comedian at his own show.

The altercation began when White questioned the validity of the 2020 NBA Finals, where the Los Angeles Lakers won the championship after beating the Miami Heat. The audience members who jumped onstage didn’t like that — as they were wearing Lakers jerseys.

“That’s a really bad look,” Jason Whitlock tells Shemeka Michelle.

“He’s constantly challenging people, and in my view I would not be surprised if he doesn’t face some criminal charges because that man was offstage when he hit him with the vase.”

After the altercation, Charleston posted videos claiming he wasn’t beaten up and that he won.

“Charleston White puts a lot of aggressive, ghetto — for lack of a better word — energy out there, and he got met with some back,” Whitlock says.

While Shemeka believes White was wrong for throwing the vase and hitting the audience member with the microphone, it doesn’t change her opinion of the comedian.

“What I also think it shows too, Jason, is how we can be so offended with words,” Shemeka says.

“How is this man in internet land getting y’all so worked up and getting y’all so angry?”

White has been called a “snitch” for previously saying that if he had to, he’d tell the police if he knew something in order not to go to jail — which has provoked some to say he deserved to be beaten up at his own show.

“Give me a break, people,” Shemeka comments. “What do you mean he needs to be beat up and he got what he deserved because he’s a snitch? I have a friend whose son was murdered at 15. They have never ever arrested someone for his murder. Why? Because the people that actually looked and watched him get shot — nobody saw anything.”
